About Rebates

I was hesitant to do this one since the rebate is through Creative and not Buy.com. I have recently done about 8 rebates and still no sign that I am going to get the money back. It has been about 4 weeks on one and it still doesn't show up on the rebate site that it has been processed. I hope I am not going to lose my shirt on this stuff trusting that rebates will come. Anyone want to share their rebate exeperiences? Have you always gotten them? How long until you can track it online and how long until they come?

I would rather they be through Creative and not Buy.com. Buy.com seems to have some CS issues. Creative has been good to me with the rebates. I think there was one issue where they said the rebate never showed up (postal service lost it), but the csr took my info and entered it for me over the phone I got my rebate a few weeks later. It may take 4+ weeks for the info to show up in the computer system. Make sure you put your email address on there, you might get an email notification when it arrives on their end. Also, keep on top of the dates and make sure you have copies of everything.
